Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, love, and supervision. Whether it’s feeding and playing with my own dogs, letting the chickens out in the morning, or tending to the yard, my routine revolves around creating a calm, safe, and happy environment for all animals in my care. I’m used to handling everything from early potty breaks to quiet cuddle time and even medication when needed. Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize with love and dedication.

Information MIchele A. would like to know about your pet

All dogs are welcome, but they must be on their best behavior when it comes to getting along with other dogs large and/or small. *They MUST be current with all their shots. * **Each dog MUST have a create and created when no people are around.**

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement: You will need to bring his/her create (I can provide up to two creates with advanced notice) and while I am off to the store they will have to be created and at bed time too. I want all/any dogs in my care to be safe as possible in the event that one of them might be in a mood. Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as I can: we have play time and then we have nap/rest time. Safety & security is my middle name (been in the security field since 2005) and I will always do what is right for the mom & or dad and the fur-baby!

Pet care experience

🐶 Where Every Pup Is Family 🐶 🐾 Safety First – Meet & Greet Required 🐾 Welcome! Our family has a deep love for dogs, and we understand how important it is to find a safe, peaceful, and loving home away from home for your fur-baby. If your pup doesn’t do well at the vet’s kennel or traditional boarding facilities, we offer a calm and personal alternative with plenty of attention, affection, and comfort. Here, your dog will enjoy one-on-one interaction, cuddle time, and supervised yard play (weather permitting). We live in a quiet neighborhood on a full acre of land—about 75% of which is fenced backyard space—giving your pup plenty of room to roam and breathe in the fresh country air. Our home has no carpet, so accidents are not a problem, and everything is set up with dogs in mind. We maintain a clean, cozy, and secure environment for your pet’s well-being and happiness. We’d love to meet you and see if our home is the right fit for your precious pup! Why I Love Dog Sitting: I’ve loved dogs my entire life. Their loyalty, playfulness, and pure hearts bring so much joy—and it’s an honor to care for them as if they were my own. Meet My Pack: Please check out my profile for more about our resident pups, Maryanne and Adalee. They’re a sweet part of our family and help create a calm, friendly environment that welcomes new guests with gentle tails and wagging hearts. About Our Yard: Our large, fully fenced backyard is perfect for safe playtime and exercise. We also have a doggy kiddie pool for warm days when a splash is just what they need! Leash walks are part of our routine, and I am experienced in administering medications if your dog requires special care. Let me know if you have special requests, routines, or preferences—we’re happy to accommodate. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priority.

We’ve used Michele 4 or 5 times, maybe more? She has been our Rosie’s dear friend the last few years when we’ve been away for sometimes a week or more. Excellent communication, lots of photos and updates, and has been very flexible with me when our plans changed recently and dates had to be updated a few times.

Always thankful for Michelle. This is our third booking with her I think. She loves my little girl and gives great updates and lots of photos.
